What happened last night is a reminder of how crazy the BCS system has become.
Remember how exciting New Year’s Day once was for college football? Thanks to the NCAA’s tinkering it’s now just another day. The system was far from perfect back then (I’ve always advocated a playoff system), but it was infinitely superior to the (BCS) one we have today.
Very few people outside of Ohio and Louisiana (and the schools’ alums) cared about last night’s game.
